In this episode of The Unobstructed Podcast, Rachael and I traced the root of neurodiverse confidence, and what it looks like when you grow up feeling like the problem.

We talk about school, labels, work, parenting, and a lot more. Like the invisible cost of teaching kids to “be good” instead of honest.

It starts with a conversation about neurodiversity.

Ok, no. Not it doesn’t. It starts off with a conversation about placebo and marketing manipulation—but ADHD took the wheel.

And honestly? I’m glad it did.

Because wow….

I love where this went.
